FLOSS+Art

Call for Papers

Deadline: September 15th 2007

people.makeart is a new project by GOTO10. It is a repository of articles and lecture materials focused on the relationship between FLOSS (Free / Libre / Open Source Software) and digital arts, as well as a database of free digital art projects. The selected papers will be published on the people.makeart website and will be printed in the FLOSS+Art book, scheduled for spring 2008, using OpenMute’s POD publishing service.

GOTO10 is now accepting new, old and recycled papers on the following issues:

- opening digital art’s practice, code and culture

- FLOSS communities VS. art collectives

- digital art licensing, copying and distributing, using open content models

- role of the artist in FLOSS development

- influence of FLOSS on digital art practices

- free software to produce art and the art of producing free software

- economy of an open digital artwork

- FLOSS as an embedded political message in digital art

- paradox and limitations of open licenses for digital art

- FLOSS as a way to quote and embed other artworks in a new one

- digital artist as a FLOSS developer/user and vice-versa

- definitions and manifestos for a free software art

- branching and forking of an open digital artwork

- opening digital art to ensure future maintainance and porting
